considering participating in the study titled:

Math in Technology & Engineering Education

An online questionnaire survey is being conducted in 2011
by Dr. Jim Flowers
(jcflowers1@bsu.edu 765-285-2879) and
Dr. Annette Rose from Ball State University, and is supported by partial funding
from the Council on Technology Teacher Education. It is open from September 8,
2011,
through October 15, 2011, and can be accessed at:

Technology and engineering teachers, teacher
educators, curriculum designers and supervisors in that field may be in
the position of selecting or developing learning activities in
technology that integrate mathematics. The purpose is to characterize
the perceptions of technology and engineering (T&E) educators in regards
to the type and level of math that is integrated into K-12 and teacher
education T&E curriculum. We are also interested in the grade level associated with a
selection of math standards ("expectations") and in some relevant
demographic information.

Participation is limited to those who are or have been
professionally associated with K-12 technology and engineering education in the
U.S., including teachers, pre-service teachers, teacher educators, supervisors,
and curriculum developers. Participation is voluntary, and responses to
survey questions are anonymous. We ask that each person take this survey
only once.

Participation entails filling out and submitting an online
survey instrument. This should take fifteen to twenty minutes. Those
who submit their survey results by [Closing Date] are taken to a page that
allows them to submit their contact information for a drawing for one of three
$50 prizes, if they so desire. That personal contact information is not
anonymous because we need to use it to contact winners. It will be kept secure
and used only for the purposes of this drawing and awarding of prizes. Because
the Council on Technology Teacher Education funded this study, they will be told
the names of the prize winners. After awarding of prizes, all other personal
information will be destroyed. It will not be sold or supplied to anyone, nor
will it be associated with any responses on the survey.
